A MESSAGE FROM THE CHILDREN OF AL ARONOWITZ:
Welcome Back to The Blacklisted Journalist
October 1, 2006
Several unusual events have impacted this site in the last 14 months since Al Aronowitz, the site's creator, passed away.
Shortly after his death, we posted an obituary announcement and updated the ads for our fathers now out-of-print books. We also reduced a few of his columns to excerpts, anticipating that these columns would soon be offered in book-form by a mainstream publisher.
Several months later, the Blacklisted Journalist site was hijacked. Passwords were changed blocking our access to the web server and email accounts. In addition, the updates wed posted were lost and many of the later columns vanished. Apparently, the long-time server used by the site was compromised.
Then, late in August 2006 (a little more than a year after Als death) the hijacked version of the site was itself hijacked and re-directed to an inactive site rendering The Blacklisted Journalist defunct.
We apologize to Blacklisted Journalist fans worldwide who may have experienced frustration when trying to reach this site. However, we are pleased to announce that we are now in the process of reconstituting the site on a new secure server. Although it still is in the testing phase, we felt that the Blacklisted Journalist must be made available again on the web.
During this testing phase we will be:
Activating new links and repairing broken ones
Repairing formatting problems (ie. punctuation, font sizes)
Implementing editorial updates (removing or amending some out-dated and/or redundant items and, in some cases excerpting some columns)
Making minor navigational changes to help access the site more intuitively
Creating new working links for our email addresses
Upgrading the group email list for sending Blacklisted Journalist announcements
We will strive to preserve the look and intent of the site, making only minor updates. Once the testing phase is complete, we will submit The Blacklisted Journalist to search engines and make a public re-launch statement. We will actively seek links with like-minded sites, and occasionally post new columns, email submissions, and announcements.
We look forward to fully restoring The Blacklisted Journalist, and we thank you for your patience and support. Our stated intention was, and continues to be that:
This site will be posted indefinitely as a tribute to the legacy of Al Aronowitz, the BLACKLISTED JOURNALIST, and will continue to offer readers compelling writing that's Gotta be fun to read or have a damn good reason why it aint.

BOB DYLAN AND THEBEATLES, VOLUME ONE OF THE BEST OF THE BLACKLISTED JOURNALIST
The sometimes scattered chronicles ofthe rock journalist's friendship with a few of the most recognizable music iconsin rock and pop history.
Itcertainly takes a bit of hubris to say that the '60s wouldn't have beenthe same without me.But coming from Al Aronowitz, the former music columnist for the New YorkPost who was often called the godfather of rock journalism, suchsentiment is perhaps justified.Here, in a compilation of many of his unpublished manuscripts, Aronowitzdescribes in candid yet affectionate detail his friendships with Bob Dylan andthe Beatles. Asa music writer and fan who recognized the musicians' limitless potential earlyin their careers, Aronowitz decided to bring them together for the first time,in a New York City hotel in 1964, a meeting that also involved the Beatles'introduction to marijuana. His prescience was soon bolstered by the 1965releases of Dylan's Highway 61Revisited andthe Beatles' Rubber Soul, both seminal albums that altered the landscapeof pop music. Thislandmark moment is just one of Aronowitz's colorful memories and musings ofbeing a hanger-on with these legends and their associates, including The Band,Beatles manager Brian Epstein, poet Allen Ginsberg, deejay Murray the K andothers. Specificallyprovocative are the accounts of Dylan's erratic behavior and short temper, whichoften led to fitful confrontations and even the ending of friendships, includingthat between Dylan and the author.It's also evident that Aronowitz was particularly fond of GeorgeHarrison, and the two remained friends until Harrison's death in 2001.Most remarkable is the close proximity he maintained to these gods,whether he was at their homes, hoteI rooms, recording studios, or concerts.Though his personal life certainly had its share of woes (particularlybankruptcy and his wife's death), Aronowitz exhibits a marked sense ofpride---and rightly so---for playing a key role in music history,
An enticing backstage pass to themeeting of arguably the two most influential acts in rock history.
